If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:
“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.
“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.
“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.
